An EBow is a hand-held string resonator for guitars, resulting in the guitar strings resonance, the effect is reminiscent of using a bow on a string even
if the resonator could be used with other techniques to produce very non-guitar like sounds. One of the most common examples of a known Ebow song is
David Bowie's Heroes, even if there are plenty of other artists and bands that have used EBows to create very different kind of music: Bill Nelson, Opeth,
Radiohead, Adrian Belew and Robert Fripp, Richard Barone. This tool has also been used in contemporary art music such as John Cage in his harp
piece A Postcard from Heaven, Karlheinz Esslr in Sequitur VIII, David First and others. This special will play various bands, artists and composers where
the E-Bow plays an instrumental part in the music soundscape.

Prog at the dawn of prog: Keith Emerson, Lee Jackson, David O'List and Ian Hague formed the group to back soul singer P.P. Arnold. They
blended
rock, jazz and classical music. The group's sound was centered on Emerson's Hammond organ showmanship and abuse of the instrument. They
radically rearranged classical music themes, Bob Dylan songs and Broadway show tunes.

in length. The video shows a black and white static view, like a webcam or surveillance camera. The audio sounds like drony or ambient noises. Treasure
Column is a bot programmed by Derek Arnold. I want to ask him why he did it? How did he do it exactly? What are his influences? What does it mean?
What's next? We can listen to the audio of several of the pieces and have conversation in between. if possible I'd like to have a Skype and video feed so
we can play the videos, see hear and discuss.

John! It's gotta stop!"

Dan Hicks was more than a Bay Area institution; he was a man out of time, residing in his own slice of the American musical spectrum. His wardrobe
and his songs were in a style that was not just old-fashioned but defiantly so in comparison to the hippie soldiers that donned purple velvet tunics and
rainbow trousers, churning out instantly-forgotten odes to their turned-on lifestyle. The Charlatans, where Hicks first achieved fame, were the first band of
the psychedelic era to establish a presence in the San Francisco ballroom scene, yet they never released much music and soon fell apart instead of
entering the mainstream like the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and other bands that went national as ambassadors for the Summer of Love.

Dan Hicks eventually followed his own path, writing and performing music that he crafted with wit, charm, and a certain degree of sarcasm, as well as
resurrecting neglected jazz and country nuggets, with a variety of bands that he would assemble to pursue his particular vision of the moment. Never
getting much attention outside of a small-but-devoted-following, he captured the ears of many well-known musicians who thought highly of Hicks and
sometimes recorded his compositions.

Dan Hicks passed away on February 6th of this year at the age of 74. Thankfully, there's plenty of musical evidence, as well as a few interviews, to tell
his story.

Blazing a trail in the 1970's and early '80's, devastating the world of soul and funk while turning jazz on its head, Betty Davis showed up, shocked,
exploded and then vanished. A listening to this major, often forgotten, player, with notes on her rise. Get down with Naysayer and don't call her no tramp.

This special will showcase the shoegaze music movement that emerged from the United Kingdom in the late 1980s and reached popularity in the
early to middle nineties. This rock style is typified by extensive use of guitar effect pedals for distortion, feedback, delays and chorus as well as
obscured vocals blurred with the musical parts to form an indistinguishable wall of sound. The term 'shoegaze' was actually devised by the British
music press as a give to ridicule the bands who performed still during their shows, often with their heads down. It didn't help that the guitar players
were busy controlling their effect pedals... Sometimes this genre is also called dream pop. By the mid-nineties the shoegaze bands where pushed
aside by both the American grunge movement as well as emerging Brit pop bands such as Blur and Sueve. The last fifteen years there has been a
renewed interest in this genre, now called 'nu gaze.'

This Mayhem special starts with finding the inspiration for shoegaze bands, even to the early days of psychedelic rock with effect use such as Jimi
Hendrix (If 6 was 9), 10cc, Pink Floyd, Cabaret Voltaire, Simple Minds, up to Cocteau Twins, Jesus and the Mary Chain, A.R Kane, Verve, My Bloody
Valentine, Loop, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur JR. and many others. We will also explore why shoe gaze disappeared, how it evolved in the background and
modern bands that have shoegaze influences.

The dance of the Căluşari was a traditional dance performed in the Oltenia region of southern Romania as part of the Căluş ritual. The Căluş ritual
featured a series of games, songs and dances and was enacted by male Căluşari dancers to the accompaniment of two violins and an accordion. The
groups of Căluşari dancers, sporting colourful hats, embroidered shirts and trousers adorned with small jingling bells, performed complex dances, which
combined stamping, clicking of the heels, and acrobatic leaps.

According to tradition, the Căluşari, who were thought to be endowed with magical healing powers, went from house to house, promising good health
and prosperity.
